Nostr Web Client

The development ethos over here feels so much more open and driven. Things happen faster, development is moving at a rapid pace and devs are willing to just try new things without discussing it to death first.

I’m also pretty active (no where near as much as here) on Bluesky and was one of the first 1000 users let in (evan.best over there), but it feels far more sterile, development moves a lot slower, and everything feels far more deliberate and centralized (so far?).

That said, they’ve definitely gotten a few things right. Domains as usernames is great, and FAR easier to configure than NIP-05. Their interface is also far more polished than any nostr client I’ve used, albeit limited in functionality.

It will probably move a lot faster as they continue to open up APIs and federation. I def prefer the nostr model from the start, but don’t want to write anything off. Good ideas everywhere and the goals are similar. However, I don’t appreciate or think it wise to go squarely after Twitter. That won’t end well, and is extremely myopic.

Completely agree. Not writing anything off, but it’s hard for most people to see the potential of their protocol when all they’re showcasing is a less-functional twitter clone.

Twitter products are more suitable for "breaking news" to spread faster and obtain information more conveniently.

Users post news on the spot where the news happens.
